Gandalf the White, the wizard formally known as Gandalf the Grey, today issued a joint public statement with Frodo Baggins categorically denying all involvement in the McCain campaign. They claim a previous press statement in which they endorsed McCain had been leaked by an unknown source, possibly from Mordor.

The Klingon/Romulan Alliance officially withdraws its earlier endorsement of McCain after the discovery of a Borg sleeper cell operating out of VP Cheney's office. And just in case the VP is listening, we're just kidding.

SOOOOOOOOOO--bored with Obama......zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Got anything that proves their report to be incorrect, false, or that justifies the "misleading" label you slapped on it?

Well, how about the NYTimes Sunday headline: "Obama meets with Afghan Leader, discusses Terrorism"
